Depending on the procedure or the reaction conditions, the compounds offormula (I), which have salt-forming properties can be obtained in freeform or in the form of salts.

The compounds of formula (I) and, where appropriate, the tautomersthereof, in each case in free form or in salt form, can be present inthe form of one of the stereoisomers which are possible or as a mixtureof these, for example in the form of pure stereoisomers, such asantipodes and/or diastereomers, or as stereoisomer mixtures, such asenantiomer mixtures, for example racemates, diastereomer mixtures orracemate mixtures, depending on the number, absolute and relativeconfiguration of asymmetric carbon atoms which occur in the moleculeand/or depending on the configuration of non-aromatic double bonds whichoccur in the molecule; the invention relates to the pure stereoisomersand also to all stereoisomer mixtures which are possible and is to beunderstood in each case in this sense hereinabove and herein below, evenwhen stereochemical details are not mentioned specifically in each case.

Diastereomer mixtures or racemate mixtures of compounds of formula (I),in free form or in salt form, which can be obtained depending on whichstarting materials and procedures have been chosen can be separated in aknown manner into the pure diasteromers or racemates on the basis of thephysicochemical differences of the components, for example by fractionalcrystallization, distillation and/or chromatography.

Enantiomer mixtures, such as racemates, which can be obtained in asimilar manner can be resolved into the optical antipodes by knownmethods, for example by recrystallization from an optically activesolvent, by chromatography on chiral adsorbents, for examplehigh-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) on acetyl cellulose, withthe aid of suitable microorganisms, by cleavage with specific,immobilized enzymes, via the formation of inclusion compounds, forexample using chiral crown ethers, where only one enantiomer iscomplexed, or by conversion into diastereomeric salts, for example byreacting a basic end-product racemate with an optically active acid,such as a carboxylic acid, for example camphor, tartaric or malic acid,or sulfonic acid, for example camphorsulfonic acid, and separating thediastereomer mixture which can be obtained in this manner, for exampleby fractional crystallization based on their differing solubilities, togive the diastereomers, from which the desired enantiomer can beresolved by the action of suitable agents, for example basic agents.

Pure diastereomers or enantiomers can be obtained not only by separatingsuitable stereoisomer mixtures, but also by generally known methods ofdiastereoselective or enantioselective synthesis, for example bycarrying out the process according to the invention with startingmaterials of a suitable stereochemistry.

N-oxides can be prepared by reacting a compound of the formula (I) witha suitable oxidizing agent, for example the H₂O₂/urea adduct in thepresence of an acid anhydride, e.g. trifluoroacetic anhydride. Suchoxidations are known from the literature, for example from J. Med. Chem.1989, 32, 2561 or WO 2000/15615.

The compounds of formula (I) and, where appropriate, the tautomersthereof, in each case in free form or in salt form, can, if appropriate,also be obtained in the form of hydrates and/or include other solvents,for example those which may have been used for the crystallization ofcompounds which are present in solid form.

Thus, in an embodiment 23, the inventionalso relates to a method of controlling damage to plant and partsthereof by plant parasitic nematodes (Endoparasitic-, Semiendoparasitic-and Ectoparasitic nematodes), especially plant parasitic nematodes suchas root knot nematodes, Meloidogyne hapla, Meloidogyne incognita,Meloidogyne javanica, Meloidogyne arenaria and other Meloidogynespecies; cyst-forming nematodes, Globodera rostochiensis and otherGlobodera species; Heterodera avenae, Heterodera glycines, Heteroderaschachtii, Heterodera trifolii, and other Heterodera species; Seed gallnematodes, Anguina species; Stem and foliar nematodes, Aphelenchoidesspecies; Sting nematodes, Eelonolaimus longicaudatus and otherBelonolaimus species; Pine nematodes, Bursaphelenchus xylophilus andother Bursaphelenchus species; Ring nematodes, Criconema species,Criconemella species, Criconemoides species, Mesocriconema species; Stemand bulb nematodes, Ditylenchus destructor, Ditylenchus dipsaci andother Ditylenchus species; Awl nematodes, Dolichodorus species; Spiralnematodes, Heliocotylenchus multicinctus and other Helicotylenchusspecies; Sheath and sheathoid nematodes, Hemicycliophora species andHemicriconemoides species; Hirshmanniella species; Lance nematodes,Hoploaimus species; false rootknot nematodes, Nacobbus species; Needlenematodes, Longidorus elongatus and other Longidorus species; Pinnematodes, Pratylenchus species; Lesion nematodes, Pratylenchusneglectus, Pratylenchus penetrans, Pratylenchus curvitatus, Pratylenchusgoodeyi and other Pratylenchus species; Burrowing nematodes, Radopholussimilis and other Radopholus species; Reniform nematodes, Rotylenchusrobustus, Rotylenchus reniformis and other Rotylenchus species;Scutellonema species; Stubby root nematodes, Trichodorus primitivus andother Trichodorus species, Paratrichodorus species; Stunt nematodes,Tylenchorhynchus claytoni, Tylenchorhynchus dubius and otherTylenchorhynchus species; Citrus nematodes, Tylenchulus species; Daggernematodes, Xiphinema species; and other plant parasitic nematodespecies, such as Subanguina., spp Hypsoperine spp., Macroposthonia spp.,Melinius spp., Punctodera spp., and Quinisulcius spp. In particular, thenematode species Meloidogyne spp., Heterodera spp., Rotylenchus spp. andPratylenchus spp. can be controlled by the compounds according to anyone of embodiment 1 to 22. The active ingredients according to theinvention can be used for controlling, i. e. containing or destroying,pests of the abovementioned type which occur in particular on plants,especially on useful plants and ornamentals in agriculture, inhorticulture and in forests, or on organs, such as fruits, flowers,foliage, stalks, tubers or roots, of such plants, and in some cases evenplant organs which are formed at a later point in time remain protectedagainst these pests.

Suitable target crops are, in particular, cereals, such as wheat,barley, rye, oats, rice, maize or sorghum; beet, such as sugar or fodderbeet; fruit, for example pomaceous fruit, stone fruit or soft fruit,such as apples, pears, plums, peaches, almonds, cherries or berries, forexample strawberries, raspberries or blackberries; leguminous crops,such as beans, lentils, peas or soya; oil crops, such as oilseed rape,mustard, poppies, olives, sunflowers, coconut, castor, cocoa or groundnuts; cucurbits, such as pumpkins, cucumbers or melons; fibre plants,such as cotton, flax, hemp or jute; citrus fruit, such as oranges,lemons, grapefruit or tangerines; vegetables, such as spinach, lettuce,asparagus, cabbages, carrots, onions, tomatoes, potatoes or bellpeppers; Lauraceae, such as avocado, Cinnamonium or camphor; and alsotobacco, nuts, coffee, eggplants, sugarcane, tea, pepper, grapevines,hops, the plantain family, latex plants and ornamentals.

The term “crops” is to be understood as including also crop plants whichhave been so transformed by the use of recombinant DNA techniques thatthey are capable of synthesising one or more selectively acting toxins,such as are known, for example, from toxin-producing bacteria,especially those of the genus Bacillus.

Further areas of use of the compositions according to the invention arethe protection of stored goods and store ambients and the protection ofraw materials, such as wood, textiles, floor coverings or buildings, andalso in the hygiene sector, especially the protection of humans,domestic animals and productive livestock against pests of the mentionedtype.

In an embodiment 24, there is also provided a method for controllingpests (such as mosquitoes and other disease vectors). In embodiment 25,the method for controlling pests comprises applying the compositionsaccording to any one of embodiments 1 to 22 to the pests or theirenvironment, to their locus, for example the soil or to a surface orsubstrate by brushing, rolling, spraying, spreading or dipping. By wayof example, an IRS (indoor residual spraying) application of a surfacesuch as a wall, ceiling or floor surface is contemplated by the methodof the invention. In an embodiment 26, it is contemplated to apply suchcompositions to a substrate such as non-woven or a fabric material inthe form of (or which can be used in the manufacture of) netting,clothing, bedding, curtains and tents.

Substrates including non-woven, fabrics or netting to be treated may bemade of natural fibres such as cotton, raffia, jute, flax, sisal,hessian, or wool, or synthetic fibres such as polyamide, polyester,polypropylene, polyacrylonitrile or the like. The polyesters areparticularly suitable. The methods of textile treatment are known, e.g.WO 2008/151984, WO 2003/034823, U.S. Pat. No. 5,631,072, WO 2005/64072,WO2006/128870, EP 1724392, WO2005113886 or WO 2007/090739.

In embodiment 27, the invention therefore also relates to pesticidalcompositions such as emulsifiable concentrates, suspension concentrates,microemulsions, oil dispersibles, directly sprayable or dilutablesolutions, spreadable pastes, dilute emulsions, soluble powders,dispersible powders, wettable powders, dusts, granules or encapsulationsin polymeric substances, which comprise—at least—one compound accordingto any one of embodiments 1 to 22 and which are to be selected to suitthe intended aims and the prevailing circumstances.

Thus, in embodiment 28, the invention therefore relates to a pesticidalcomposition, which comprises at least one compound according to any oneof embodiments 1 to 22 as active ingredient and at least one auxiliary.

Hence, in embodiment 29, the method for controlling such pests comprisesapplying a pesticidally effective amount of a composition according toembodiment 28 to the target pests, to their locus, or to a surface orsubstrate so as to provide effective residual pesticidal activity on thesurface or substrate. Such application may be made by brushing, rolling,spraying, spreading or dipping the pesticidal composition of theinvention. By way of example, an IRS application of a surface such as awall, ceiling or floor surface is contemplated by the method of theinvention so as to provide effective residual pesticidal activity on thesurface. In another embodiment 30, it is contemplated to apply acomposition according to embodiment 28 for residual control of pests ona substrate such as a fabric material in the form of (or which can beused in the manufacture of) netting, clothing, bedding, curtains andtents.

In these compositions, the active ingredient is employed in pure form, asolid active ingredient for example in a specific particle size, or,preferably, together with—at least—one of the auxiliaries conventionallyused in the art of formulation, such as extenders, for example solventsor solid carriers, or such as surface-active compounds (surfactants).Examples of suitable solvents are: unhydrogenated or partiallyhydrogenated aromatic hydrocarbons, preferably the fractions C₈ to C₁₂of alkylbenzenes, such as xylene mixtures, alkylated naphthalenes ortetrahydronaphthalene, aliphatic or cycloaliphatic hydrocarbons, such asparaffins or cyclohexane, alcohols such as ethanol, propanol or butanol,glycols and their ethers and esters such as propylene glycol,dipropylene glycol ether, ethylene glycol or ethylene glycol monomethylether or ethylene glycol monoethyl ether, ketones, such ascyclohexanone, isophorone or diacetone alcohol, strongly polar solvents,such as N-methylpyrrolid-2-one, dimethyl sulfoxide orN,N-dimethylformamide, water, unepoxidized or epoxidized vegetable oils,such as unexpodized or epoxidized rapeseed, castor, coconut or soya oil,and silicone oils.

Solid carriers which are used for example for dusts and dispersiblepowders are, as a rule, ground natural minerals such as calcite, talc,kaolin, montmorillonite or attapulgite. To improve the physicalproperties, it is also possible to add highly disperse silicas or highlydisperse absorbtive polymers. Suitable adsorptive carriers for granulesare porous types, such as pumice, brick grit, sepiolite or bentonite,and suitable non-sorptive carrier materials are calcite or sand. Inaddition, a large number of granulated materials of inorganic or organicnature can be used, in particular dolomite or comminuted plant residues.

Suitable surface-active compounds are, depending on the type of theactive ingredient to be formulated, non-ionic, cationic and/or anionicsurfactants or surfactant mixtures which have good emulsifying,dispersing and wetting properties. The surfactants mentioned below areonly to be considered as examples; a large number of further surfactantswhich are conventionally used in the art of formulation and suitableaccording to the invention are described in the relevant literature.

Suitable non-ionic surfactants are, especially, polyglycol etherderivatives of aliphatic or cycloaliphatic alcohols, of saturated orunsaturated fatty acids or of alkyl phenols which may containapproximately 3 to approximately 30 glycol ether groups andapproximately 8 to approximately 20 carbon atoms in the (cyclo)aliphatichydrocarbon radical or approximately 6 to approximately 18 carbon atomsin the alkyl moiety of the alkyl phenols. Also suitable arewater-soluble polyethylene oxide adducts with polypropylene glycol,ethylenediaminopolypropylene glycol or alkyl polypropylene glycol having1 to approximately 10 carbon atoms in the alkyl chain and approximately20 to approximately 250 ethylene glycol ether groups and approximately10 to approximately 100 propylene glycol ether groups. Normally, theabovementioned compounds contain 1 to approximately 5 ethylene glycolunits per propylene glycol unit. Examples which may be mentioned arenonylphenoxypolyethoxyethanol, castor oil polyglycol ether,polypropylene glycol/polyethylene oxide adducts,tributylphenoxypolyethoxyethanol, polyethylene glycol oroctylphenoxypolyethoxyethanol. Also suitable are fatty acid esters ofpolyoxyethylene sorbitan, such as polyoxyethylene sorbitan trioleate.

The cationic surfactants are, especially, quarternary ammonium saltswhich generally have at least one alkyl radical of approximately 8 toapproximately 22 C atoms as substituents and as further substituents(unhalogenated or halogenated) lower alkyl or hydroxyalkyl or benzylradicals. The salts are preferably in the form of halides,methylsulfates or ethylsulfates. Examples are stearyltrimethylammoniumchloride and benzylbis(2-chloroethyl)ethylammonium bromide.

Examples of suitable anionic surfactants are water-soluble soaps orwater-soluble synthetic surface-active compounds. Examples of suitablesoaps are the alkali, alkaline earth or (unsubstituted or substituted)ammonium salts of fatty acids having approximately 10 to approximately22 C atoms, such as the sodium or potassium salts of oleic or stearicacid, or of natural fatty acid mixtures which are obtainable for examplefrom coconut or tall oil; mention must also be made of the fatty acidmethyl taurates. However, synthetic surfactants are used morefrequently, in particular fatty sulfonates, fatty sulfates, sulfonatedbenzimidazole derivatives or alkylaryl sulfonates. As a rule, the fattysulfonates and fatty sulfates are present as alkali, alkaline earth or(substituted or unsubstituted) ammonium salts and they generally have analkyl radical of approximately 8 to approximately 22 C atoms, alkyl alsoto be understood as including the alkyl moiety of acyl radicals;examples which may be mentioned are the sodium or calcium salts oflignosulfonic acid, of the dodecylsulfuric ester or of a fatty alcoholsulfate mixture prepared from natural fatty acids. This group alsoincludes the salts of the sulfuric esters and sulfonic acids of fattyalcohol/ethylene oxide adducts. The sulfonated benzimidazole derivativespreferably contain 2 sulfonyl groups and a fatty acid radical ofapproximately 8 to approximately 22 C atoms. Examples ofalkylarylsulfonates are the sodium, calcium or triethanolammonium saltsof decylbenzenesulfonic acid, of dibutylnaphthalenesulfonic acid or of anaphthalenesulfonic acid/formaldehyde condensate. Also possible are,furthermore, suitable phosphates, such as salts of the phosphoric esterof a p-nonylphenol/(4-14)ethylene oxide adduct, or phospholipids.

As a rule, the compositions comprise 0.1 to 99%, especially 0.1 to 95%,of active ingredient and 1 to 99.9%, especially 5 to 99.9%, of at leastone solid or liquid adjuvant, it being possible as a rule for 0 to 25%,especially 0.1 to 20%, of the composition to be surfactants (% in eachcase meaning percent by weight). Whereas concentrated compositions tendto be preferred for commercial goods, the end consumer as a rule usesdilute compositions which have substantially lower concentrations ofactive ingredient.

Typically, a pre-mix formulation for foliar application comprises 0.1 to99.9%, especially 1 to 95%, of the desired ingredients, and 99.9 to0.1%, especially 99 to 5%, of a solid or liquid adjuvant (including, forexample, a solvent such as water), where the auxiliaries can be asurfactant in an amount of 0 to 50%, especially 0.5 to 40%, based on thepre-mix formulation.

Normally, a tank-mix formulation for seed treatment applicationcomprises 0.25 to 80%, especially 1 to 75%, of the desired ingredients,and 99.75 to 20%, especially 99 to 25%, of a solid or liquid auxiliaries(including, for example, a solvent such as water), where the auxiliariescan be a surfactant in an amount of 0 to 40%, especially 0.5 to 30%,based on the tank-mix formulation.

Typically, a pre-mix formulation for seed treatment applicationcomprises 0.5 to 99.9%, especially 1 to 95%, of the desired ingredients,and 99.5 to 0.1%, especially 99 to 5%, of a solid or liquid adjuvant(including, for example, a solvent such as water), where the auxiliariescan be a surfactant in an amount of 0 to 50%, especially 0.5 to 40%,based on the pre-mix formulation. Whereas commercial products willpreferably be formulated as concentrates (e.g., pre-mix composition(formulation)), the end user will normally employ dilute formulations(e.g., tank mix composition).

Preferred seed treatment pre-mix formulations are aqueous suspensionconcentrates. The formulation can be applied to the seeds usingconventional treating techniques and machines, such as fluidized bedtechniques, the roller mill method, rotostatic seed treaters, and drumcoaters. Other methods, such as spouted beds may also be useful. Theseeds may be presized before coating. After coating, the seeds aretypically dried and then transferred to a sizing machine for sizing.Such procedures are known in the art. In general, the pre-mixcompositions of the invention contain 0.5 to 99.9 especially 1 to 95,advantageously 1 to 50%, by mass of the desired ingredients, and 99.5 to0.1, especially 99 to 5%, by mass of a solid or liquid adjuvant(including, for example, a solvent such as water), where the auxiliaries(or adjuvant) can be a surfactant in an amount of 0 to 50, especially0.5 to 40%, by mass based on the mass of the pre-mix formulation.

The activity of compositions comprising compounds according to theinvention can be broadened considerably, and adapted to prevailingcircumstances, by including other active substances. The activesubstances can be of chemical or biological in type, and in the case ofbiological could be further modified from the biological species derivedin nature. Active substances include substances that control, repel orattract pests that damage or harm useful plants in general, but alsosubstances that improve the growth of a useful plant, such as plantgrowth regulators, and substances that improve the performance of theactive substance, such as synergists. Examples are insecticides,acaricides, nematicides, molluscicides, aligicides, virusicides,rodenticide, bactericides, fungicides, chemosterilants, anthelmintics.Examples of a biological active substance include baculovirus, plantextract, and bacteria.

The mixtures of the compounds according to any one of embodiments 1 to22 with other active substances may also have further surprisingadvantages which can also be described, in a wider sense, as synergisticactivity. For example, better tolerance by plants, reducedphytotoxicity, insects can be controlled in their different developmentstages, or better behaviour relating to production, for example grindingor mixing, storage or use.

Individual active substances can occur in more than one group or class,and at more than one place within a group or class: information aboutthe active substances, their spectrum, sources and classifications canbe found from Compendium of Pesticide Common Names (seehttp://www.alanwood.net/pesticides/index.html) or from the PesticideManual created by the British Crop Production Counci (seehttp://bcpcdata.com/pesticide-manual.html).

Those mixing ratios are by weight.

In embodiment 31, the mixtures as described above can be used in amethod for controlling pests, which comprises applying a compositioncomprising a mixture as described above to the pests or theirenvironment, with the exception of a method for treatment of the humanor animal body by surgery or therapy and diagnostic methods practised onthe human or animal body.

The mixtures comprising a compound according to any one of embodiments 1to 22 and one or more active ingredients as described above can beapplied, for example, in a single “ready-mix” form, in a combined spraymixture composed from separate formulations of the single activeingredient components, such as a “tank-mix”, and in a combined use ofthe single active ingredients when applied in a sequential manner, i.e.one after the other with a reasonably short period, such as a few hoursor days. The order of applying the compounds according to any one ofembodiments 1 to 22 and the active ingredients as described above is notessential for working the present invention.

The compositions according to embodiment 31 can also comprise furthersolid or liquid auxiliaries, such as stabilizers, for exampleunepoxidized or epoxidized vegetable oils (for example epoxidizedcoconut oil, rapeseed oil or soya oil), antifoams, for example siliconeoil, preservatives, viscosity regulators, binders and/or tackifiers,fertilizers or other active ingredients for achieving specific effects,for example bactericides, fungicides, nematocides, plant activators,molluscicides or herbicides.

The compositions according to embodiment 31 are prepared in a mannerknown per se, in the absence of auxiliaries for example by grinding,screening and/or compressing a solid active ingredient and in thepresence of at least one auxiliary for example by intimately mixingand/or grinding the active ingredient with the auxiliary (auxiliaries).These processes for the preparation of the compositions and the use ofthe compounds I for the preparation of these compositions are also asubject of the invention.

The application methods for the compositions, that is the methods ofcontrolling pests of the abovementioned type, such as spraying,atomizing, dusting, brushing on, dressing, scattering or pouring—whichare to be selected to suit the intended aims of the prevailingcircumstances—and the use of the compositions for controlling pests ofthe abovementioned type are other subjects of the invention. Typicalrates of concentration are between 0.1 and 1000 ppm, preferably between0.1 and 500 ppm, of active ingredient. The rate of application perhectare is generally 1 to 2000 g of active ingredient per hectare, inparticular 10 to 1000 g/ha, preferably 10 to 600 g/ha.

A preferred method of application in the field of crop protection isapplication to the foliage of the plants (foliar application), it beingpossible to select frequency and rate of application to match the dangerof infestation with the pest in question. Alternatively, the activeingredient can reach the plants via the root system (systemic action),by drenching the locus of the plants with a liquid composition or byincorporating the active ingredient in solid form into the locus of theplants, for example into the soil, for example in the form of granules(soil application). In the case of paddy rice crops, such granules canbe metered into the flooded paddy-field.

The compounds according to any one of embodiments 1 to 22 andcompositions thereof are also be suitable for the protection of plantpropagation material, for example seeds, such as fruit, tubers orkernels, or nursery plants, against pests of the abovementioned type.The propagation material can be treated with the compound prior toplanting, for example seed can be treated prior to sowing.Alternatively, the compound can be applied to seed kernels (coating),either by soaking the kernels in a liquid composition or by applying alayer of a solid composition. It is also possible to apply thecompositions when the propagation material is planted to the site ofapplication, for example into the seed furrow during drilling. Thesetreatment methods for plant propagation material and the plantpropagation material thus treated are further subjects of the invention.Typical treatment rates would depend on the plant and pest/fungi to becontrolled and are generally between 1 to 200 grams per 100 kg of seeds,preferably between 5 to 150 grams per 100 kg of seeds, such as between10 to 100 grams per 100 kg of seeds.

In embodiment 32, the invention therefore relates to a method for theprotection of plant propagation material from the attack by pests, whichcomprises treating the propagation material or the site, where thepropagation material is planted, with a compound according to any one ofembodiments 1 to 22 or with a composition according to embodiment 28 or31, which comprises at least one compound according to any one ofembodiments 1 to 22, as active ingredient and at least one auxiliarycomposition.

The term seed embraces seeds and plant propagules of all kinds includingbut not limited to true seeds, seed pieces, suckers, corns, bulbs,fruit, tubers, grains, rhizomes, cuttings, cut shoots and the like andmeans in a preferred embodiment true seeds.

The present invention also comprises seeds coated or treated with orcontaining a compound of formula I. The term “coated or treated withand/or containing” generally signifies that the active ingredient is forthe most part on the surface of the seed at the time of application,although a greater or lesser part of the ingredient may penetrate intothe seed material, depending on the method of application. When the saidseed product is (re)planted, it may absorb the active ingredient. In anembodiment, the present invention makes available a plant propagationmaterial adhered thereto with a compound of formula (I). Further, it ishereby made available, a composition comprising a plant propagationmaterial treated with a compound according to any one of embodiments 1to 22.

Seed treatment comprises all suitable seed treatment techniques known inthe art, such as seed dressing, seed coating, seed dusting, seed soakingand seed pelleting. The seed treatment application of the compoundaccording to any one of embodiments 1 to 22 can be carried out by anyknown methods, such as spraying or by dusting the seeds before sowing orduring the sowing/planting of the seeds.
